Zion National Park and poetry make a wonderful combination, so don’t miss the chance to write poetry while immersed in the beauty of Utah’s oldest and most-visited national park before the crowds arrive. Poetry in the Park, held Friday, March 6, 2020, will feature UVU English professor Rob Carney, who will present “From Here to There: Poetry as Maps.” Hosted by the Utah State Poetry Society and Zion National Park Forever Project, the event will also include a nature walk led by a Forever Project Naturalist/Instructor, time to compose poetry, and time to share poetry with other poets in attendance. Carney will also do a free reading at the Hurricane Community Center’s Bryce Canyon Room the evening of March 5. Lodging will be available at winter rates and attendees can bring their own lunches or dine at the Lodge’s Redrock Grill. For more details, visit poetry-in-the-park.com. Poetry in the Park can be coupled with the Red Rock Creative Writing Seminar the next day, Sat. March 7, in nearby St. George for a fantastic writing-intensive weekend.
